1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This note provides a list of the significant accoun ng policies adopted in the prepara on of these standalone financial statements. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1.1. Basis of preparaƟon
Compliance with Ind AS
These financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accoun ng Standard (Ind AS) no fied under Sec on 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), Companies (Indian Accoun ng Standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant provisions of the Act.

the accoun ng standards no fied under the Sec on 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies
(Accounts) Rules, 2014 (hereina er referred to as ‘Previous GAAP’) used for its statutory repor ng requirement in India immediately
before adop ng Ind AS. The financial statements for the compara ve year ended March 31, 2017 and opening balance sheet at the
beginning of the compara ve year as at April 1, 2016 have been restated in accordance with Ind AS for compara ve informa on.
Reconcilia ons and explana ons of the effect of the transi on from Previous GAAP to Ind AS on the Company’s Balance Sheet, Statement
of Profit and Loss and Statement of Cash Flows are provided in note 38.
The financial statements have been prepared on accrual and going concern basis. The accoun ng policies are applied consistently to
all the periods presented in the financial statements, including the prepara on of the opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as at April 1, 2016
being the date of transi on to Ind AS. All assets and liabili es have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s
normal opera ng cycle and other criteria as set out in the Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of
products and the me between acquisi on of assets for processing and their realisa on in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has
ascertained its opera ng cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classifica on of assets and liabili es.
Historical Cost ConvenƟon
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost conven on on the accrual basis of accoun ng except for the
following –
• Certain financial assets and liabili es which are measured at fair value;
• Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.
1.2. Current / Non-Current Classification
Any asset or liability is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following conditions:
a) the asset/liability is expected to be realized/settled in the Company's normal operating cycle;
b) the asset is intended for sale or consumption;

73
Annual Report 2017-18
Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
c) the asset/liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
d) the asset/liability is expected to be realized/settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
e) the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting date;
f) in the case of a liability, the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting date.
All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.
For the purpose of current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities, the Company has ascertained Its normal operating cycle as
twelve months. This is based on the nature of services and the time between the acquisition of assets and inventories for processing and
their realization in cash and cash equivalents.
1.3. Summary of significant accoun ng policies
a) Revenue recogni on
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the considera on received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of
excise duty and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, value added taxes, goods and services tax (GST) and amounts collected on
behalf of third par es.
The company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits
will flow to the en ty and specific criteria have been met for each of the company’s ac vi es as described below. The company bases
its es mates on historical results, taking into considera on the type of customer, the type of transac on and the specifics of each
arrangement.
Recognising revenue from major business ac vi es
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the
buyer as per the terms of the contract, there is neither con nuing managerial involvement with the goods nor effec ve control over
the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company, the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the
transac on can be measured reliably and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in propor on to the stage of comple on of the transac on at the repor ng date when
the outcome of the transac on can be es mated reliably.
Revenues from the sale of extended warran es and maintenance contracts embedded in the original sales contracts are recognized
over the life of the contract and matched to related costs.
Income from export incen ves/ government grants are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant
will be received and the company will comply with all a ached condi ons.
Rental income
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Interest Income
For all financial assets measured at amor sed cost, interest income is recorded using the effec ve interest rate (EIR) i.e. the rate that
exactly discounts es mated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the
financial assets. The future cash flows include all other transac on costs paid or received, premiums or discounts if any, etc.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised at the me when right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders
approve the dividend.

(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
b) Foreign currency transla on
Func onal and presenta on currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee and are rounded to two decimal places of Lakhs, which is also the func onal
and presenta on currency of the Company.
Transac ons and balances
Foreign currency transac ons are recorded in the func onal currency, by applying to the exchange rate between the func onal
currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transac on.
Foreign currency monetary items are converted to func onal currency using the closing rate on the repor ng date. Non-monetary
items denominated in a foreign currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the
transac ons.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items on se lement, or restatement as at repor ng date, at rates different from those at
which they were ini ally recorded, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which they arise.

c) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly a ributable to the acquisi on, construc on or produc on of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the
period of me that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is one that
necessarily takes substan al period of me to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the statement
of profit and loss as incurred.
d) Property, plant and equipment
Recogni on and ini al measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisi on. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if
capitalisa on criteria are met and directly a ributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condi on for the intended use. Any
trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits a ributable to
such subsequent cost associated with the item will flow to the Company. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in
statement of profit or loss as incurred.
Subsequent measurement (deprecia on and useful lives)
Deprecia on on property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method, computed on the basis of useful lives
men oned below:

Asset category Es mated useful life


Factory Building 10-30 Years
Office Building 60 Years
Plant and Machinery 9-15 Years
Furniture & Fixtures 10 Years
Office Equipment 5-10 Years
Motor Vehicles 8 Years
Computers 3-5 Years
Electric Equipment & Fi ngs 10 Years

Based on technical evalua on, the management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which
management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for certain items within these classes of assets is different from the
useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

75
Annual Report 2017-18
Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
The residual values, useful lives and method of deprecia on are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospec vely, if
appropriate.
Where, during any financial year, any addi on has been made to any asset, or where any asset has been sold, discarded, demolished
or destroyed, or significant components replaced; deprecia on on such assets is calculated on a pro rata basis as individual assets
with specific useful life from the month of such addi on or, as the case may be, up to the month on which such asset has been sold,
discarded, demolished or destroyed or replaced.
De-recogni on
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part ini ally recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no
future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recogni on of the asset (calculated as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and
loss when the asset is derecognized.
e) Investment proper es
Recogni on and ini al measurement
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital apprecia on or both, and that is not occupied by the company, is
classified as investment property. Investment property is measured ini ally at its cost, including related transac on costs and where
applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All
other repairs and maintenance cost are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying
amount of the replaced part is derecognized.
Transi on to Ind AS
On transi on to Ind AS, the company has elected to con nue with the carrying value of all investment proper es recognised as at
April 1, 2016 measured as per previous GAAP and used at carrying value of the deemed cost of the investment proper es.
Subsequent measurement (deprecia on and useful lives)
Deprecia on on investment proper es is provided on the straight-line method, computed on the basis of useful lives prescribed
under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
The useful lives of investment proper es are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospec vely, if appropriate.
Where, during any financial year, any addi on has been made to investment proper es, or where investment proper es has been
sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed; deprecia on on such investment proper es is calculated on a pro rata basis with specific
useful life from the month of such addi on or, as the case may be, up to the month on which such investment proper es has been
sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed.
De-recogni on
Investment proper es are derecognised either when they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from
used and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period of de-recogni on.
f) Intangible assets
Recogni on and ini al measurement
Purchased Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amor sa on and impairment, if any.
Computer So ware and Technical Knowhow
All finite-lived intangible assets, are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amor sed on a straight-line
basis over their es mated useful lives. The es mated useful life of an iden fiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors
including the effects of obsolescence, demand, compe on, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and
known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from
the asset.

Computer So ware 5 Years

Technical Know how 5 Years

g) Leases
As a lessee
Finance leases: Leases of property, plant and equipment where the company, as lessee, has substan ally all the risk and rewards
of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s incep on at the fair value of the leased
property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obliga ons, net of finance charges,
are included in borrowings or other financial liabili es as appropriate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and
finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest
on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Opera ng lease: Leases in which a significant por on of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the company as
lessee are classified as opera ng leases. Payments made under opera ng leases (net of any incen ves received from the lessor) are
charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line
with expected general infla on to compensate for the lessor’s expected infla onary cost increases.
As a lessor
Lease income from opera ng leases where the company is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term
unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general infla on to compensate for the expected infla onary cost
increases. The respec ve leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.
h) Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and are
measured ini ally at fair value adjusted for transac on costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are
measured ini ally at fair value.
If the Company determines that the fair value at ini al recogni on differs from the transac on price, the Company accounts for that
instrument at that date as follows:
(i) at the measurement basis men oned above if that fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an ac ve market for an iden cal
asset or liability (i.e. a Level 1 input) or based on a valua on technique that uses only data from observable markets. The
Company recognises the difference between the fair value at ini al recogni on and the transac on price as a gain or loss.
(ii) in all other cases, at the measurement basis men oned above, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value at ini al
recogni on and the transac on price. A er ini al recogni on, the Company recognises that deferred difference as a gain or loss
only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor (including me) that market par cipants would take into account when
pricing the asset or liability.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabili es is described below:
h.1) Financial assets
Classifica on and subsequent measurement
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories upon ini al recogni on:
(i) Financial assets at amor sed cost
A financial instrument is measured at amor sed cost if both the following condi ons are met:
• The asset is held within a business model whose objec ve is to hold assets for collec ng contractual cash flows, and

77
Annual Report 2017-18
Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
• Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)
on the principal amount outstanding.
A er ini al measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amor sed cost using the effec ve interest method.
(ii) Investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries and associates
Investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries and associates are accounted for at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27 Separate
Financial Statements.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value
• Investments in equity instruments other than above - All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value.
Equity instruments which are held for trading are generally classified as at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). For all
other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI) or fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Company makes such elec on on an instrument by instrument basis.
The classifica on is made on ini al recogni on and is irrevocable.

If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding
dividends, are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L,
even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumula ve gain or loss within equity. Dividends on such
investments are recognised in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the P&L.
• Mutual funds - All mutual funds in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
De-recogni on of financial assets
A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has
transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
h.2) Financial liabili es
Subsequent measurement
A er ini al recogni on, the financial liabili es are subsequently measured at amor sed cost using the effec ve interest method.
De-recogni on of financial liabili es
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obliga on under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an exis ng
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substan ally different terms, or the terms of an exis ng liability are
substan ally modified, such an exchange or modifica on is treated as the de-recogni on of the original liability and the recogni on
of a new liability. The difference in the respec ve carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Offse ng of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabili es are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet, if there is a currently
enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an inten on to se le on a net basis, to realise the assets and
se le the liabili es simultaneously.
i) Impairment of financial assets
All financial assets except for those at FVTPL are subject to review for impairment at each repor ng date to iden fy whether there
is any objec ve evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment
are applied for each category of financial assets.
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recogni on of impairment
loss for financial assets carried at amor sed cost.

78
Action Construction Equipment Limited
Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
ECL is the weighted average of difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the
contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effec ve interest rate, with the
respec ve risks of default occurring as the weights. When es ma ng the cash flows, the Company is required to consider:
• All contractual terms of the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life of the assets.
• Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognized ini ally at fair value and subsequent measured at amor zed cost using the effec ve interest
method, less provision for impairment.
Other financial assets
For recogni on of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a
significant increase in the credit risk since ini al recogni on. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since ini al recogni on,
the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses, else at an amount equal to the
life me expected credit losses.
When making this assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial
asset. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the balance
sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the date of ini al recogni on and considers reasonable
and supportable informa on, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indica ve of significant increases in credit risk
since ini al recogni on. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since ini al
recogni on if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date.
j) Impairment of non-financial assets
For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows
(cash genera ng units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-genera ng unit
level.
At each repor ng date, the Company assesses whether there is any indica on based on internal/external factors, that an asset may
be impaired If any such indica on exists, the Company es mates the recoverable amount of the asset If such recoverable amount
of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash genera ng unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the reduc on is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss. If, at the repor ng date there is an indica on that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer
exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use and the asset is
reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost Impairment losses previously recognized
are accordingly reversed in the statement of profit and loss.
To determine value-in-use, management es mates expected future cash flows from each cash-genera ng unit and determines a
suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment tes ng procedures
are directly linked to the company’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future re-organisa ons
and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-genera ng unit and reflect current market
assessment of the me value of money and asset-specific risk factors.
k) Fair value measurement
The Company measures certain financial instruments, such as, investments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transac on between market
par cipants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presump on that the transac on to sell the asset
or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

79
Annual Report 2017-18
Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assump ons that market par cipants would use when pricing the asset
or liability, assuming that market par cipants act in their economic best interest. Refer Note 31 for fair value hierarchy.
l) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories comprises of all costs of purchase, costs
of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present loca on and condi on. Costs of inventories are
computed using the weighted average cost formula. Net realisable value is the es mated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less any applicable selling expenses. Provision for obsolescence and slow moving inventory is made based on management’s
best es mates of net realisable value of such inventories.
m) Income Tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable
income tax rate for each jurisdic on adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabili es a ributable to temporary differences
and to unused tax losses.
Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authori es in accordance with the Income-Tax Act,
1961. Current tax items are recognised in correla on to the underlying transac on either in other comprehensive income or directly
in equity.
Deferred tax liabili es are generally recognised in full for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss, unused tax credits (Minimum alternate tax credit en tlement) or deduc ble
temporary difference will be u lised against future taxable income. This is assessed based on the Company’s forecast of future
opera ng results, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or
credit. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each repor ng date and are recognised to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profits will allow deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabili es are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised
or the liability is se led, based on tax rates (and tax Laws) that have been enacted or substan vely enacted at the repor ng date.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correla on to the underlying transac on either in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity.
Current tax assets and current tax liabili es are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and
there is an inten on to se le the asset and liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabili es are offset when
there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabili es; and the deferred tax assets and the
deferred tax liabili es relate to income taxes levied by the same taxa on authority.
n) Investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates
Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any where an
indica on of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and wri en down immediately to its recoverable
amount. On disposal of these investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
o) Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all a ached condi ons
will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systema c basis over the periods
that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as
income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
When the Company receives grants for non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at fair value amounts and released
to profit or loss over the expected useful life in a pa ern of consump on of the benefit of the underlying asset i.e. by equal annual
instalments.

p) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, demand deposits with banks and short-term highly liquid investments (original
maturity less than 3 months) that are readily conver ble into known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change
in value.
q) Post-employment, long term and short term employee benefits
Short-term obliga ons
Liabili es for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be se led wholly within 12 months a er
the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees’ services up to the
end of the repor ng period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabili es are se led. The liabili es are
presented as current employee benefit obliga ons in the balance sheet.
Other long-term employee benefit obliga ons
The liabili es for earned leave are not expected to be se led wholly within 12 months a er the end of the period in which the
employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in
respect of services provided by employee up to the end of the repor ng period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits
are discounted using the appropriate market yields at the end of the repor ng period that have terms approxima ng to the terms of
the related obliga on. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assump ons are recognized
in profit or loss.
The obliga ons are presented as current liabili es in the balance sheet if the en ty does not have an uncondi onal right to defer
se lement for at least twelve months a er the repor ng period, regardless of when the actual se lement is expected to occur.
Post-employment obliga ons
The group operates the following post-employment scheme:
(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
(b) Defined contribu on plans such as provident fund.
Gratuity obliga ons
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined
benefit obliga on at the end of the repor ng period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obliga on is calculated
annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obliga on denominated in INR is determined by discoun ng the es mated future cash
ou lows by reference to market yields at the end of the repor ng period on government bonds that have terms approxima ng to
the terms of the related obliga on.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obliga on and the fair value
of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assump ons are recognized in the
period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of
changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obliga on resul ng from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized
immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
r) Provisions, con ngent assets and con ngent liabili es
Provisions are recognised only when there is a present obliga on, as a result of past events, it is probable that an ou low of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to se le the obliga on, and when a reliable es mate of the amount of obliga on
can be made at the repor ng date. These es mates are reviewed at each repor ng date and adjusted to reflect the current best

81
Annual Report 2017-18
Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
es mates. If the effect of the me value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a current
pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the me value of money and the risks specific to the obliga on. When
provisions are discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passage of me is recognised as a finance cost.
Con ngent liability is disclosed for:
• Possible obliga ons which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or
• Present obliga ons arising from past events where it is not probable that an ou low of resources will be required to se le the
obliga on or a reliable es mate of the amount of the obliga on cannot be made.
Con ngent assets are not recognised and con nuously assessed for recoverability. However, when inflow of economic benefits is
probable, related asset is disclosed.
s) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period a ributable to equity shareholders (a er
deduc ng a ributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calcula ng diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period a ributable to equity shareholders
and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilu ve poten al equity
shares.
t) Amounts rounding off
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per
the requirement of Schedule III (Division III) of the Companies Act, 2013, unless otherwise stated.
1.4. Key accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the Company's Financial statements requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment
to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affacted in future periods.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next Financial year, are described
below:
a) Income taxes
The Company's tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of
paying advance tax, determining the provision for Income taxes, Including amount expected to be paid/ recovered for uncertain
tax positions.
b) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of
periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residua! value at
the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company's assets are determined by the management at the time the asset
is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar
assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence
arising from changes or improvements in production or from a change in market demand or the product or service output of the
asset.

Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
c) Defined Benefit Obligation
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance
with Ind AS 19 'Employee benefits' over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees' services. The costs are
assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount
rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in Note 30, 'Employee benefits'.
d) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted
prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model, which
involve various judgements and assumptions.
1.5. Standards issued but not yet effec ve
On March 28, 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has no fied Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contract with Customers and
certain amendment to exis ng Ind AS. These amendments shall be applicable to the company from April 1, 2018.
a) Issue of Ind AS - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

and the related interpreta ons. Ind AS 115 provides a single model of accoun ng for revenue arising from contract with customers
based on the iden fica on and sa sfac on of performance obliga on.
b) Amendment to exis ng issued Ind AS

Employee Benefits-Gratuity (contd.)
These assump ons were developed by management with the assistance of independent actuarial appraisers. Discount factors are
determined close to each year end by reference to government bonds of relevant economic markets and that have terms to maturity
approxima ng to the terms of the related obliga on. Other assump ons are based on management’s historical experience.

(vii) Sensi vity analysis for gratuity liability

As at As at As at
Par culars March 31, 2018 March 31, 2017 April 1, 2016

Impact due to increase of 1.00% 16.19 16.17 14.69
Impact due to decrease of 1.00% (15.47) (15.41) (13.97)

The above sensi vity analysis are based on a change in an assump on while holding all other assump ons constant. In prac ce, this
is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assump ons may be correlated. When calcula ng the sensi vity of the defined benefit
obliga on to significant actuarial assump ons the same method (present value of the defined benefit obliga on calculated with the
projected unit credit method at the end of the repor ng period) has been applied which was applied while calcula ng the defined
benefit obliga on liability recognised in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assump ons used in preparing the sensi vity analysis did not change compared to prior period.

B) Compensated absences (unfunded)

The leave obliga ons cover the Company’s liability for sick and earned leaves. The Company does not have an uncondi onal right to
defer se lement for the obliga on shown as current provision balance above. However based on past experience, the Company does
not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months, therefore based on
the independent actuarial report, only a certain amount of provisions has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

towards Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme which are defined contribu on plans. The Company has no obliga ons
other than to make the specified contribu ons. The contribu ons are charged to the statement of profit and loss as they accrue.

D) Other employee benefits

The Company has taken an Insurance Policy for medical benefits in respect of its working employees. The Insurance Policy for on-roll
employees is par ally funded by the Company.

The categories used are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices for iden cal instruments in an ac ve market.
Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs and
Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial Instruments (contd.)
C.1) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to se le their obliga ons as agreed. To manage this, the
company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condi on, current economic
trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of account receivables. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The Company considers the probability of default upon ini al recogni on of asset and whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk on an on-going basis throughout each repor ng period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk
the company compares the risk of default occurring on the asset as at the repor ng date with the risk of default as at the date of
ini al recogni on. The company considers reasonable and suppor ve forward-looking informa on.

Expected credit losses for financial assets other than trade receivables
Since the company deals with only high rated banks and financial ins tu ons, credit risk in respect of cash & cash equivalents, bank
balances and bank deposits is evaluated as very low. In respect of advances and security deposits also credit risk is considered low
because the company is in possession of underlying asset.
Expected credit losses for trade receivables under simplified approach
The company recognize life me expected credit losses on trade receivables using a simplified approach, wherein Company has
defined percentage of provision by analysing historical trend of default relevant to each business segment based on the criteria
defined above and such provision percentage determined have been considered to recognize life me expected credit losses on
trade receivables (other than those where default criteria are met).

C.2) Liquidity Risk
Ul mate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short-term, medium-term and long-term funding and
liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserve, banking facili es and

C.3) Market Risk

The Company is not an ac ve investor in equity market. Further the treasury ac vi es, focused on managing investments in debt
instruments, are centralized and administered under a set of approved policies and procedures guided by the tenets of liquidity,
safety and returns. This ensures that investments are only made within acceptable risk parameters a er due evalua on.

The Company’s investments are predominantly held in fixed deposits and debt mutual funds. Mark to market movements in respect
of the Company’s investments that are held at amor sed cost are temporary and get recouped through fixed coupon accruals.
Fixed deposits are held with highly rated banks and have a short tenure and are not subject to interest rate vola lity.

The Company also invests in mutual fund schemes of leading fund. Such investments are suscep ble to market price risk that arise
mainly from changes in interest rate which may impact the return and value of such investments. However, given the rela vely
short tenure of underlying por olio of the mutual fund scheme in which the Company has invested, such price risk is not significant.

Foreign currency risk

The Company undertakes transac ons denominated in foreign currency (mainly US Dollar and Euro) which are subject to the risk
of exchange rate fluctua ons. Considering the low volume of foreign currency transac ons, the Company’s exposure to foreign
currency risk is limited and the Company hence does not use any deriva ve instruments to manage its exposure.

v) Impact of Ind AS on the adop on in the statement of cashflows for the year ended March 31, 2017.
There are no material adjustments of transi on to the statement of cash flows to conform to Ind AS presenta on for the year ended
March 31, 2017.
Notes to first- me adop on:
Note - I - Revalua on of property, Plant and equipment
The Company has elected to measure certain items of freehold land, building and plant & machinery at their fair value and considered
as deemed cost at the date of transi on. The impact on fair valua on of such assets on the date of transi on from previous GAAP is
` 4,052.82 Lakhs.
Note - II -Foreign Exchange Fluctua on
Under previous GAAP, exchange difference arising on repor ng of “Long Term Foreign Currency Monetary Item (LTFCMI)” in so far as
they relate to acquisi on of capital assets are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset and shall be depreciated over the useful
life of that asset. However as per Ind AS no such relaxa on is provided and therefore exchange differences are to be taken to opening
retained earning.
Note - III - Preference share capital classified as debt
Under previous GAAP, preference share capital was considered as equity, however because of specific nature of preference share
capital, these are considered as borrowing under Ind AS.
Note - IV - Derecogni on of Proposed Dividend & Tax thereon
Under the previous GAAP dividend proposed by the directors a er the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial

116
Action Construction Equipment Limited
Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
statements were considered as adjus ng events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend were recognised as liability. Under Ind
AS such dividends are recognised when the same are approved by the shareholders in general mee ng. Accordingly, the liability for
proposed dividend included under provision has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings.
Note - V - Provision for Expected credit loss
Under previous GAAP, provision for doub ul debts was recognised based on the es mate of the outcome and of the financial effect
of con ngencies determined by the management of the company. This judgement was based on the considera on of informa on
available upto the date on which the financial statements were approved and included a review of events occurring a er the balance
sheet date.
Under Ind AS, a loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised on financial assets carried at amor sed cost. Expected loss on
individually significant receivables is assessed when they are past due and based on company’s historical counterparty default rate
and forecast of macro-economic factors. Other receivables have been segmented by reference to the industry of the counterparty and
other shared credit risk characteris cs to evaluate the expected credit loss. The expected credit loss es mate is then based on recent
historical counterparty default rates for each iden fied segment.
As a result, the allowance for doub ul debts increased by ` 55.48 Lakhs as at March 31, 2017 (` 33.69 Lakhs as at April 1, 2016)
Consequently, the total equity decreased by the same amount.
Note - VI - Deferral of Revenue
Under previous GAAP, the amount of revenue was usually determined at considera on received or receivable for the product or service
explicitly specified in the contract between the par es.
Under Ind AS where the sale transac on of the company include separately iden fiable components, such as a er sales service and
extended warran es, it is necessary to apply the recogni on criteria to those separately iden fiable components in order to reflect
the substance of the transac on. Revenue from each component so iden fied is only recognised when such goods are sold or services
are rendered. Accordingly, revenue a ributable to specifically iden fiable components where services are pending to be rendered has
been deferred.
Note - VII - Deferred tax impact on Ind AS adjustments
Some of the transi on adjustments are temporary in nature and therefore becomes the reason for deferment of tax liability. These
items/ transi on adjustments led to recogni on of deferred taxes on temporary difference.
Note - VIII - Remeasurment of defined benefit obliga on
Under the previous GAAP, these measurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. Under Ind AS, measurements i.e.
actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined
benefit liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss.
Note IX - Investment property
Under the previous GAAP, investment proper es were presented as part of non-current investments. Under Ind AS, investment
proper es are required to be separately presented on the face of the balance sheet. There is no impact on the total equity or profit as
a result of this adjustment.
Note X - Loan to subsidiary recognised at amor sed cost using no onal rate of Interest
Under previous GAAP, interest free loan was recognised at cost. However under Ind AS the interest free loan is amor sed, using
no onal rate of interest.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Consolidated financial statements.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1.1. Basis of prepara on
Compliance with Ind AS
These consolidated financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) notified under Section
133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant provisions of the
Act.
These consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 are the first financial statements prepared by the Company
under Ind AS for all periods upto and including the year ended March 31, 2017. The Company prepared its financial statements in
accordance with the accounting standards notified under the Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together with paragraph
7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (hereinafter referred to as 'Previous GAAP') used for its statutory reporting requirement
in India immediately before adopting Ind AS. The financial statements for the comparative year ended March 31, 2017 and opening
balance sheet at the beginning of the comparative year as at April 1, 2016 have been restated in accordance with Ind AS for comparative
information. Reconciliations and explanations of the effect of the transition from Previous GAAP to Ind AS on the Company's Balance
Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss and Statement of Cash Flows are provided in note 38.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on accrual and going concern basis. The accounting policies are applied
consistently to all the periods presented in the financial statements, including the preparation of the opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as
at April 1, 2016 being the date of transition to Ind AS. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the
Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out in the Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on
the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents,
the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and
liabilities.
Historical Cost Conven on
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost conven on basis except for the following –
• Certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value;
• Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.
1.2. Current / Non-Current Classification
Any asset or liability is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following conditions:
a) the asset/liability is expected to be realized/settled in the group's normal operating cycle;
b) the asset is intended for sale or consumption;

125
Annual Report 2017-18
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
c) the asset/liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
d) the asset/liability is expected to be realized/settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
e) the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting date;
f) in the case of a liability, the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting date.
All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.
For the purpose of current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities, the group has ascertained Its normal operating cycle as
twelve months. This is based on the nature of services and the time between the acquisition of assets or inventories for processing and
their realization in cash and cash equivalents.
1.3. Summary of significant accounƟng policies
a) Revenue recogniƟon
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of
excise duty and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, value added taxes, goods and services tax (GST) and amounts collected on
behalf of third parties.
The company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits
will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the company’s activities as described below. The company
bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of
each arrangement.
Recognising revenue from major business acƟviƟes
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the
buyer as per the terms of the contract, there is neither continuing managerial involvement with the goods nor effective control over
the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company, the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the
transaction can be measured reliably and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date when
the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably.
Revenues from the sale of extended warranties and maintenance contracts embedded in the original sales contracts are recognized
over the life of the contract and matched to related costs.
Income from export incentives/ government grants are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant
will be received and the company will comply with all attached conditions.
Rental Income
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Interest Income
For all financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR) i.e. the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the
financial assets. The future cash flows include all other transaction costs paid or received, premiums or discounts if any, etc.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised at the time when right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders
approve the dividend.
b) Foreign currency translaƟon
FuncƟonal and presentaƟon currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee and are rounded to two decimal places of Lakhs, which is also
the functional and presentation currency of the group.

126
Action Construction Equipment Limited
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
TransacƟons and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency, by applying to the exchange rate between the functional
currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are converted to functional currency using the closing rate on the reporting date. Non-monetary
items denominated in a foreign currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the
transactions.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items on settlement, or restatement as at reporting date, at rates different from those at
which they were initially recorded, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which they arise.
c) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the
period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is one that
necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the statement
of profit and loss as incurred.
d) Property, plant and equipment
RecogniƟon and iniƟal measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if
capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any
trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to
such subsequent cost associated with the item will flow to the Company. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in
statement of profit or loss as incurred.
Subsequent measurement (depreciaƟon and useful lives)
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method, computed on the basis of useful lives
mentioned below:

Asset category Estimated useful life


Factory Building 10-30 Years
Office Building 60 Years
Plant and Machinery 9-15 Years
Furniture & Fixtures 10 Years
Office Equipment 5-10 Years
Motor Vehicles 8 Years
Computers 3-5 Years
Electric Equipment & Fittings 10 Years

Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which
management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for certain items within these classes of assets is different from the
useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if
appropriate.
Where, during any financial year, any addition has been made to any asset, or where any asset has been sold, discarded, demolished
or destroyed, or significant components replaced; depreciation on such assets is calculated on a pro rata basis as individual assets

127
Annual Report 2017-18
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
with specific useful life from the month of such addition or, as the case may be, up to the month on which such asset has been sold,
discarded, demolished or destroyed or replaced.
De-recogni on
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no
future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and
loss when the asset is derecognized.
e) Investment proper es
Recogni on and ini al measurement
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the company,
is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and
where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance cost are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the
carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.
Transi on to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all investment properties recognised as at
April 1, 2016 measured as per previous GAAP and used at carrying value of the deemed cost of the investment properties.
Subsequent measurement (deprecia on and useful lives)
Depreciation on investment properties is provided on the straight-line method, computed on the basis of useful lives prescribed
under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
The useful lives of investment properties are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Where, during any financial year, any addition has been made to investment properties, or where investment properties has been
sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed, depreciation on such investment properties is calculated on a pro rata basis with specific
useful life from the month of such addition or, as the case may be, up to the month on which such investment properties has been
sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed.
De-recogni on
Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from
use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period of de-recognition.
f) Intangible assets
Recogni on and ini al measurement
Purchased Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment, if any.
Computer So ware and Technical Knowhow
All finite-lived intangible assets, are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors
including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and
known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from
the asset.

128
Action Construction Equipment Limited
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. The following useful lives are applied:

Asset category Es mated useful life

Computer So ware 5 Years

Technical Know how 5 Years

g) Leases
As a lessee
Finance leases: Leases of property, plant and equipment where the company, as lessee, has substantially all the risk and rewards
of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased
property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance
charges, are included in borrowings or other financial liabilities as appropriate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability
and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Operating lease: Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the company as
lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are
charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line
with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.

As a lessor
Lease income from operating leases where the company is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term
unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary
cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

h) Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and are
measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are
measured initially at fair value.
If the Company determines that the fair value at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, the Company accounts for that
instrument at that date as follows:
(i) at the measurement basis mentioned above if that fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical
asset or liability (i.e. a Level 1 input) or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets. The
Company recognises the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price as a gain or loss.
(ii) in all other cases, at the measurement basis mentioned above, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value at initial
recognition and the transaction price. After initial recognition, the Company recognises that deferred difference as a gain or
loss only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor (including time) that market participants would take into account
when pricing the asset or liability.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is described below:

h.1) Financial assets


Classifica on and subsequent measurement
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

129
Annual Report 2017-18
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
(i) Financial assets at amor sed cost
A financial instrument is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
• Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
(SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.
(ii) Investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries and associates
Investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries and associates are accounted for at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27 Separate
Financial Statements.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value
• Investments in equity instruments other than above - All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at
fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are generally classified as at fair value through profit and loss
(FVTPL). For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Company makes such election on an
instrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.

If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument,
excluding dividends, are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from
OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Dividends on such investments are recognised in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of
the cost of the investment.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the P&L.

• Mutual funds - All mutual funds in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).

De-recogni on of financial assets


A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company
has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
h.2) Financial liabili es
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, the financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
De-recogni on of financial liabili es
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition
of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Offse ng of financial instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet, if there is a currently
enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and
settle the liabilities simultaneously.
i) Impairment of financial assets
All financial assets except for those at FVTPL are subject to review for impairment at each reporting date to identify whether there
130
Action Construction Equipment Limited
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment
are applied for each category of financial assets.
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment
loss for financial assets carried at amortised cost.
ECL is the weighted average of difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the
contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate, with the
respective risks of default occurring as the weights. When estimating the cash flows, the Company is required to consider:
• All contractual terms of the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life of the assets.
• Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequent measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method, less provision for impairment.
Other financial assets
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a
significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition,
the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses, else at an amount equal to the
lifetime expected credit losses.
When making this assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial
asset. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the balance
sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable
and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk
since initial recognition. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial
recognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date.
j) Impairment of non-financial assets
For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows
(cash generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit
level.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication based on internal/external factors, that an asset may
be impaired If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset If such recoverable amount
of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss. If, at the reporting date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer
exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use and the asset is
reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost Impairment losses previously recognized
are accordingly reversed in the statement of profit and loss.
To determine value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a
suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures
are directly linked to the company's latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future re-organisations
and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect current market
assessment of the time value of money and asset-specific risk factors.
k) Fair value measurement
The Company measures certain financial instruments, such as, investments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market

131
Annual Report 2017-18
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the
asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset
or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest Refer Note 30 for fair value hierarchy.

l) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories comprises of all costs of purchase, costs
of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs of inventories are
computed using the weighted average cost formula. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less any applicable selling expenses. Provision for obsolescence and slow moving inventory is made based on management's
best estimates of net realisable value of such inventories.
m) Income Tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable
income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences
and to unused tax losses.
Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-Tax Act,
1961. Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly
in equity.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised in full for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss, unused tax credits (Minimum alternate tax credit entitlement) or deductible
temporary difference will be utilised against future taxable income. This is assessed based on the Company's forecast of future
operating results, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or
credit. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profits will allow deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised
or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax Laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and
there is an intention to settle the asset and liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when
there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and the deferred tax assets and the
deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
n) Investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates
Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any where an
indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable
amount. On disposal of these investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
o) Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions
will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as
income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
When the Company receives grants for non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at fair value amounts and
released to profit or loss over the expected useful life in a pattern of consumption of the benefit of the underlying asset i.e. by equal
annual instalments.
p) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, demand deposits with banks and short-term highly liquid investments (original
maturity less than 3 months) that are readily convertible into known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change
in value.
q) Post-employment, long term and short term employee benefits
Short-term obligaƟons
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after
the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees’ services up to the
end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are
presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
Other long-term employee benefit obligaƟons
The liabilities for earned leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the
employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in
respect of services provided by employee up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits
are discounted using the appropriate market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of
the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized
in profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer
settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Post-employment obligaƟons
The group operates the following post-employment scheme:
(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
(b) Defined contribuƟon plans such as provident fund.
Gratuity obligaƟons
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined
benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated
annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation denominated in INR is determined by discounting the estimated future cash
outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to
the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value
of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the
period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of
changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized
immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
r) Provisions, con ngent assets and con ngent liabili es
Provisions are recognised only when there is a present obligation, as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount of
obligation can be made at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimates. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value
using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
obligation. When provisions are discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Con ngent liability is disclosed for:
• Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or
• Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised and continuously assessed for recoverability. However, when inflow of economic benefits is
probable, related asset is disclosed.
s) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after
deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders
and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity
shares.
t) Amounts rounding off
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the
requirement of Schedule III (Division III) of the Companies Act, 2013, unless otherwise stated.
1.4. Key accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the Company's Financial statements requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment
to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affacted in future periods.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next Financial year, are described below:
a) Income taxes
The Company's tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of
paying advance tax, determining the provision for Income taxes, Including amount expected to be paid/ recovered for uncertain tax
positions.
b) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic
depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residua! value at the end of
its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company's assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired
and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well
as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from
changes or improvements in production or from a change in market demand or the product or service output of the asset.

(All amounts in ` Lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
c) Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash
generating unit is less than its carrying amount based on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, future cash
flows and economic conditions. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is determined based on higher of value-in-use
and fair value less cost-to-sell. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of the cash-generating unit or groups of cash-
generating units which are benefitting from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill
is monitored for internal management purposes.
Market related inf ormation and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which management
has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and
estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections take into account past experience and represent managements best estimate
about future developments.
d) Defined Benefit Obligation
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance
with Ind AS 19 'Employee benefits' over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees' services. The costs are
assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates,
expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in Note 29, 'Employee benefits'.
e) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted
prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model, which
involve various judgements and assumptions.

1.5. Standards issued but not yet effec ve


On March 28, 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contract with Customers and

These assump ons were developed by management with the assistance of independent actuarial appraisers. Discount factors are
determined close to each year end by reference to government bonds of relevant economic markets and that have terms to maturity
approxima ng to the terms of the related obliga on. Other assump ons are based on management’s historical experience.

Impact due to increase of 1.00% 16.19 16.17 14.69
Impact due to decrease of 1.00% (15.47) (15.41) (13.97)

The above sensi vity analysis are based on a change in an assump on while holding all other assump ons constant. In prac ce, this is
unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assump ons may be correlated. Whent calcula ng the sensi vity of the defined benefit
obliga on to significant actuarial assump ons the same method (present value of the defined benefit obliga on calculated with the
projected unit credit method at the end of the repor ng period) has been applied which was applied while calcula ng the defined
benefit obliga on liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assump ons used in preparing the sensi vity analysis did not change compared to prior period.

B) Compensated absences (unfunded)


The leave obliga ons cover the group’s liability for sick and earned leaves. The Company does not have an uncondi onal right to
defer se lement for the obliga on shown as current provision balance above. However based on past experience, the group does not
expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months, therefore based on the
independent actuarial report, only a certain amount of provisions has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The fair value of financial Instruments as referred to in note (A) above has been classified into three category depending on the inputs
used in valua on technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted price in ac ve markets for iden cal assets or liabili es
[Level 1 measurements] and lowest priority to unobservable inputs [Level 3 measurements].
The categories used are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices for iden cal instruments in an ac ve market
Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs and
Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Valua on process and technique used to determine fair value


The fair value of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (NAV) as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund
units in the published statement as at the Balance Sheet date.

C) Financial Risk Management


The group’s ac vi es expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The group’s board of directors has overall responsibility for
the establishment and oversight of the company’s risk management framework. This note explains the source of risk which the en ty is
exposed to and how the en ty manages the risk and the related impact in the financial statements.

C.1) Credit risk


Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to se le their obliga ons as agreed. To manage this, the
company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condi on, current economic
trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of account receivables. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The group considers the probability of default upon ini al recogni on of asset and whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk on an on-going basis throughout each repor ng period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk
the group compares the risk of default occurring on the asset as at the repor ng date with the risk of default as at the date of ini al
recogni on. The group considers reasonable and suppor ve forward-looking informa on.
Expected credit losses for financial assets other than trade receivables
Since the group deals with only high rated banks and financial ins tu ons, credit risk in respect of cash & cash equivalents, bank
balances and bank deposits is evaluated as very low. In respect of advances and security deposits also credit risk is considered low
because the group is in possession of underlying asset.
Expected credit losses for trade receivables under simplified approach
The group recognize life me expected credit losses on trade receivables using a simplified approach, wherein Company has de-
fined percentage of provision by analysing historical trend of default relevant to each business segment based on the criteria de-
fined above and such provision percentage determined have been considered to recognize life me expected credit losses on trade
receivables (other than those where default criteria are met).

C.2) Liquidity Risk


Ul mate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short-term, medium-term and long-term
funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserve,
banking facili es and reserve borrowing facili es, by con nuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by
matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabili es.

C.3) Market Risk


The group is not an ac ve investor in equity market. Further the treasury ac vi es, focused on managing investments in
debt instruments, are centralized and administered under a set of approved policies and procedures guided by the tenets
of liquidity, safety and returns. This ensures that investments are only made within acceptable risk parameters a er due
evalua on.
The group’s investments are predominantly held in fixed deposits and debt mutual funds. Mark to market movements in
respect of the group’s investments that are held at amor sed cost are temporary and get recouped through fixed coupon
accruals. Fixed deposits are held with highly rated banks and have a short tenure and are not subject to interest rate
vola lity.
The group also invests in mutual fund schemes of leading fund. Such investments are suscep ble to market price risk that
arise mainly from changes in interest rate which may impact the return and value of such investments. However, given the
rela vely short tenure of underlying por olio of the mutual fund scheme in which the Company has invested, such price
risk is not significant.
Foreign currency risk
The group undertakes transac ons denominated in foreign currency (mainly US Dollar and Euro) which are subject to the
risk of exchange rate fluctua ons. Considering the low volume of foreign currency transac ons, the group’s exposure to
foreign currency risk is limited and the group hence does not use any deriva ve instruments to manage its exposure.

38. First me adop on of Ind AS and transi on to Ind AS


These are the group’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
The accoun ng policies set out in note 1 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended March
31, 2018, the compara ve informa on presented in these financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 and in the
prepara on of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at April 1, 2016 (the company’s date of transi on). In preparing its opening
Ind AS balance sheet, the group has adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the
accoun ng standards no fied under Companies (Accoun ng Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the
Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP).
An explana on of how the transi on from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the group’s financial posi on, financial performance
and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.
Exemp ons and excep ons availed
Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 op onal exemp ons and mandatory excep ons applied in the transi on from previous
GAAP to Ind AS.
A. Ind AS op onal exemp ons
(i) Deemed cost
Ind AS 101 permits a first- me adopter may elect to measure an item of property, plant and equipment at the date of transi on to Ind
ASs at its fair value and use that fair value as its deemed cost at that date. Accordingly, the group has elected to measure certain items of
freehold land, building and plant & machinery at their fair value and considered as deemed cost at the date of transi on and to measure
remaining of its Land, Building and Plant & Machinery at their previous GAAP carrying value. The impact on fair valua on of such assets
on the date of transi on from previous GAAP is ` 4,052.83 Lakhs. The impact due to retrospec ve applica on of Ind AS 16 ‘Property,
plant and equipment’ on the remaining assets on the date of transi on from previous GAAP is ` 347.99 Lakhs.
(ii) Designa on of previously recognised financial instruments
Ind AS 101 allows an en ty to designate investments in equity instruments at FVOCI on the basis of the facts and circumstances at the
date of transi on to Ind AS. The company has elected to apply this exemp on for its investment in equity investments.
(iii) Leases
Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires an en ty to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS
17, this assessment should be carried out at the incep on of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101 provides an op on to make this
assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances exis ng at the date of transi on to Ind AS, except where the effect is expected to be
not material. The company has elected to apply this exemp on for such contracts/arrangements.
(iv) Long-term foreign currency monetary items
Ind AS 101 includes an op onal exemp on that allows a first- me adopter to con nue the above accoun ng treatment in respect of
the long-term foreign currency monetary items recognised in the financial statements for the period ending immediately before the
beginning of the first Ind AS financial repor ng period. The company has elected to apply this exemp on.
B. Ind AS mandatory excep ons
(i) Es mates
An en ty’s es mates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transi on to Ind AS shall be consistent with es mates made for the same
date in accordance with previous GAAP (a er adjustments to reflect any difference in accoun ng policies), unless there is objec ve
evidence that those es mates were in error. Ind AS es mates as at April 1, 2016 are consistent with the es mates as at the same
date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The group made es mates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of
transi on as these were not required under previous GAAP:
- Investment in equity instruments carried at FVOCI;
- Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.

(ii) Classifica on and measurement of financial assets and liabili es


The classifica on and measurement of financial assets will be made considering whether the condi ons as per Ind AS 109 are
met based on facts and circumstances exis ng at the date of transi on.
Financial assets can be measured using effec ve interest method by assessing its contractual cash flow characteris cs only on the
basis of facts and circumstances exis ng at the date of transi on and if it is imprac cable to assess the use of effec ve interest
method, fair value of financial asset at the date of transi on shall be the new carrying amount of that asset. The measurement
exemp on applies for financial liabili es as well.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
At the date of transi on to Ind AS, determine whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the ini al
recogni on of a financial instrument would require undue cost or effort, the group has recognised a loss allowance at an amount
equal to life me expected credit losses at each repor ng date un l that financial instrument is derecognised.
C. Reconcilia on between Previous GAAP and Ind AS
Ind AS 101 requires an en ty to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The following

Notes to first- me adop on


Note - I - Revalua on of property, Plant and equipment
The Company has elected to measure certain items of freehold land, building and plant & machinery at their fair value and
considered as deemed cost at the date of transi on. The impact on fair valua on of such assets on the date of transi on from
previous GAAP is ` 4,053.83 Lakhs.
Note - II - Foreign Exchange Fluctua on
Under previous GAAP, exchange difference arising on repor ng of “Long Term Foreign Currency Monetary Item (LTFCMI)” in so
far as they relate to acquisi on of capital assets are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset and shall be depreciated
over the useful life of that asset, However as per Ind AS no such relaxa on is provided and therefore exchange differences are to
be taken to opening retained earning.
Note - III - Preference share capital classified as debt
Under previous GAAP, preference share capital was considered as equity, however because of specific nature of preference share
capital, these are considered as borrowing under Ind AS.
Note - IV - Derecogni on of Proposed Dividend & Tax thereon
Under the previous GAAP dividend proposed by the directors a er the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial
statements were considered as adjus ng events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend were recognised as liability.
Under Ind AS such dividends are recognised when the same are approved by the shareholders in general mee ng. Accordingly,
the liability for proposed dividend included under provision has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained
earnings.
Note - V - Provision for Expected credit loss
Under previous GAAP, provision for doub ul debts was recognised based on the es mate of the outcome and of the financial
effect of con ngencies determined by the management of the company. This judgement was based on the considera on of
informa on available upto the date on which the financial statements were approved and included a review of events occurring
a er the balance sheet date.
Under Ind AS, a loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised on financial assets carried at amor sed cost. Expected
loss on individually significant receivables is assessed when they are past due and based on company’s historical counterparty
default rate and forecast of macro-economic factors. Other receivables have been segmented by reference to the industry of the
counterparty and other shared credit risk characteris cs to evaluate the expected credit loss. The expected credit loss es mate
is then based on recent historical counterparty default rates for each iden fied segment.
As a result, the allowance for doub ul debts increased by ` 55.48 Lakhs as at March 31, 2017 (` 33.69 Lakhs as at April 1, 2016)
Consequently, the total equity decreased by the same amount.
Note - VI - Deferral of Revenue
Under previous GAAP, the amount of revenue was usually determined at considera on received or receivable for the product or
service explicitly specified in the contract between the par es.
Under Ind AS where the sale transac on of the company include separately iden fiable components, such as a er sales service
and extended warran es, it is necessary to apply the recogni on criteria to those separately iden fiable components in order
to reflect the substance of the transac on. Revenue from each component so iden fied is only recognised when such goods
are sold or services are rendered. Accordingly, revenue a ributable to specifically iden fiable components where services are
pending to be rendered has been deferred.
Note - VII - Deferred tax impact on Ind AS adjustments
Some of the transi on adjustments are temporary in nature and therefore becomes the reason for deferment of tax liability.
These items/ transi on adjustments led to recogni on of deferred taxes on temporary difference.

Notes to first-Ɵme adopƟon (contd.)


Note - VIII - Remeasurment of defined benefit obligaƟon
Under the previous GAAP, these measurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. Under Ind AS, measurements i.e. ac-
tuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit
liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss.
Note IX - Investment property
Under the previous GAAP, investment proper es were presented as part of non-current investments. Under Ind AS, investment proper-
es are required to be separately presented on the face of the balance sheet. There is no impact on the total equity or profit as a result
of this adjustment.
Note X - Loan to subsidiary recognised at amorƟsed cost using noƟonal rate of Interest
Under previous GAAP, interest free loan was recognised at cost. However under Ind AS the interest free loan is amor sed, using no onal
rate of interest.
